Contractor guideline flowchart

What it contains

A flowchart that helps you determine whether a contractor counts as your worker for premium purposes and if they're eligible for contractor deductions.

This guideline doesn't apply to you if you hired an individual through a labour hire (or on-hire) firm and pay that firm for work undertaken in your business.

This guideline also doesn't apply to owner drivers, door-to-door sellers, timber contractors, taxi drivers, share farmers, outworkers and sporting contestants. These individuals have special rules that can be found in the relevant clause of Schedule 1 of the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2013.
